I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who has had the confidence to buy and/or sell their home with me and referred me to friends who were looking to move. You are the foundation for my success, I am licensed in MD & DC and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It's too late, I secured the home sale/purchase for my client :-).

Any time a friend, family member, colleague or even you are considering moving, please contact me for a free and confidential, no hassle consultation to discuss your situation, the market and if buying/selling is the right move for them. If you hear someone say that they have a real estate question, are curious about the market but not ready to buy or sell, I would still love to meet them for coffee and answer any questions they have. Remember, I always have time for and appreciate your referrals. Call/Text/Whatsapp: (301)943-4370 or email: adambashein@gmail.com

My buyers just purchased this new bedford colonial model home at 11615 Fulham Street in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD. The home is centrally located on an awesome elevated lot and fenced yard. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs while the main level features a dining room, living room and family room----with a fireplace!

On the lower levels there is a den and office which can easily be used, converted into bedrooms.

The home has plenty of entertaining space and playing space.

This was really a lovely transaction on all fronts...once my clients got under contract. There were multiple offers on the house. After they won, the sales process was very smooth. The sellers used a limited services broker, so, in addition to working with my buyers, I had more interaction than usual with the sellers. The inspector said the home was well kept, didn't see any property issues. As the sellers were getting ready to move out, they invited the buyers over to see if they wanted particular items for free before getting rid of them and I must have had several cups of coffee with the sellers, who are very sweet people and lived in the home for over 50 years. The home appraised and the lender did a great job, having the loan ready to close in advance.

The phrase I use and is illustrated below is bagels and lot = a sold house.

Congrats to my buyers! They should create as many wonderful memories at 11615 Fulham Street as the sellers made in their over half a century in the home. Best wishes to the sellers.

If you or someone you know is looking to move, I would love to sit down and discuss the process with them, whether it is buying, selling or both. Even if he or she isn't currently looking to move but wants to talk about the market, please share my information and connect us. I always appreciate and have time for your referrals.

I just sold this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home at 703 Kersey Road in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in

Silver Spring, MD. It is a centrally located, newer built for the community -- according to MLS, in 1987. The home features a great master bedroom with a huge master bath, a main level bedroom with a dual entry full bath, 3 main level entertaining areas, main level laundry and a large lower level that has a private office.

As the title of this post says, the home was a short sale, which in layman's terms means that a seller is asking the lender(s) he or she has a mortgage with to forgive the balance between what the sales price is and the amount that the seller owes on the mortgage(s). This process can take a while. The short sale was approved a couple of months after we were under contract and that isn't bad. I have had properties under contract for months waiting for a short sale to be approved.

In addition to needing patience, among the things to think about if you are going to put an offer on a home that is a short sale are (1) the home is almost always sold as is---meaning a buyer can do a home inspection for informational purposes but shouldn't count on being able to negotiate inspection items with the seller; (2)have a good home inspector and contractors to come to the house before the contingency period is over to evaluate the concerns if any that the inspector raised: and (3) a lender who is good and experienced with short sales and can close a loan quickly after the short sale is approved, working through some unusual aspects in the transaction.

So delighted that we successfully settled on 703 Kersey Road, a location that my buyers have been eyeing for a long time, hoping that the right home would come up.

Congrats to my buyers!
